RMIT International University Vietnam (RMIT Vietnam)

RMIT International University Vietnam is Vietnam’s first and only fully foreign-owned university, delivering internationally recognised degrees from campuses in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

RMIT Vietnam has grown rapidly since it opened its doors in 2001, today enrolling more than 3,000 students into degree programs and some 2,000 into Academic English classes.

Students come from countries including Vietnam, Australia, China, France, Germany, Malaysia, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States. All teaching and learning is in English.

The Saigon South campus in Ho Chi Minh City is expanding, with a $US7 million building program delivering a sports and leisure complex and student accommodation, and construction of a $US15 million academic building set to start in early 2010.

Since 2003, RMIT Vietnam has won the prestigious Golden Dragon Award six times, for excellence in education services. It has also received awards from the Australian Chamber of Commerce for innovation and community service and Certificates of Merit from the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee and the Ministry of Planning and Investment in Hanoi.

In 2008, the Prime Minister of Vietnam, Nguyen Tan Dung, visited Melbourne and presented a Certificate of Merit to RMIT Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Margaret Gardner AO, in recognition of RMIT Vietnam’s contribution to the social and economic development of Vietnam.

RMIT is a “twin hub” university. Students in some programs may choose to spend time studying in both countries, and a growing number of Australian-based students are undertaking projects in Vietnam. All Australian-based academic staff undertaking a Graduate Certificate in Tertiary Teaching and Learning study a component at RMIT Vietnam.

Research initiatives have taken place in the fields of information technology, food technology and safety, the control of infectious diseases and water.
